    Comments about Shimano HG-50 8-Speed Cassette:

    [...]. I bought two. Originally I didn't like it, but now I'm quite happy with it and my usual riding gear is right in the dead center of the cassette range. I tend to ride in one gear most of the time, so having a cassette that doesn't cost me a fortune to replace is important for my wallet. This cassette is a nice compromise between quality and price.It does seem a little bit "weak" as the teeth have bent on the cogs. I don't shift under load, thus the cogs seem to have bent under normal riding conditions. However, the degree of bend has not been enough to be a problem, and even if it was it's made of steel so the temporary fix of bending the teeth back is a plausible solution.
